Should I be worried about my plaster sculpture heart cracking?

I waited a little over 48 hours for it to dry before I painted it, I painted the last glitter coat on there while it was on a piece of paper last night, now when I took it off the paper, the paper was wet, is it going to eventually crack?

Answer #1

It’s possible the wetness of the paper was from the plaster, and because you didn’t move it off the paper, the plaster acted like a seal to keep the paper wet…does the bottom of the sculpture feel damp? Of not, don’t worry about it…if it does, try turning the sculpture upside down, or propping it up against something to continue drying - if you didn’t add anything to the back yet, then it can still breathe and dry, so I wouldn’t worry.

Answer #2

The back of it isnt really moist at all ad I havent added anything tto it. I’ll prop it up somewhere. Phhheeewww
